Tipperary Economic Plan 2015 – 2020 1. Introduction & Background Ireland has gone through a considerable level of upheaval in recent years as a result, in part, of over reliance on some unsustainable economic policies. This has had a detrimental impact on the broader community and in particular has resulted in a significant level of disruption causing extremely high levels of unemployment; significant reduction in service provision and very high levels of emigration. Whilst the impact has been extremely negative, it has resulted in the Country reassessing its economic policies and the role of economic development in the Country. It is realized that a critical component of any sustainable community is the ability of that community to participate in economic activity appropriate to their needs, abilities and capacities. For any economic strategy of a county or country to be effective and sustainable, it must be on the basis that all persons are afforded an appropriate opportunity to engage in economic activity which will add value to the quality of life of its citizens. In the context of the Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP), the objective is to promote a more integrated sustainable and targeted approach to addressing the strategic economic and enterprise development needs in a way that builds on the strengths and opportunities of the County and by ensuring that there is a prospect of economic opportunity for all. 2. Methodology The process for the preparation of the community element of the LECP was undertaken as part of the overall LECP preparation. The Tipperary LECP is underpinned by a number of guiding principles which include • Sustainability • Promotion and mainstreaming of equality • Community development principles • Maximizing returns from resources by avoiding unnecessary overlap and duplication and by achieving synergies through co-operation and collaboration • Participative planning • Community consultation and engagements • Accessibility and ownership All sections of the Plan have been developed with these underlying principles as a key guiding framework. A Steering Group, consisting of representatives of the Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) and the Economic (ESPC) was set up in order to maximize the level of integration and co-ordination during the preparation process so that any potential difficulties of overlap or duplication could be avoided. It also ensured maximum benefits of the community consultation processes. 4 2.1 LECP Process The process for the development of the LECP incorporated three phases as follows: 3.1.1 Phase 1 This involved: a) seeking written submissions on the issues of concern from the broader community b) engagement with the principal Agencies which operate in the county to identify their views of the key framework priorities as suggested by their experience and knowledge and their understanding of what would be acceptable within the context of Government priorities and policies. This stage of the process was important as it should maximize the likelihood that the actions identified in the Plan would be achievable and realistic since they would lie within the strategic priorities of the principal funding and approval agencies. Based on these key framework priorities, the broader community was consulted to review the priorities as identified by the agencies from a community perspective and to identify potential additional priorities. Key appropriate agencies with a national/regional remit were also consulted during this stage. A statistical evidence based assessment was then undertaken to evaluate the priorities which were identified in the above process. Any new additional areas which were suggested through the evidential assessment but which did not come through the agency and community processes were also added to the draft list of Framework Priorities and the stated targets for each Priority was set in line with Government targets. The Advisory Committee, a structure made up of representatives from the SPC for Economic Development and the LCDC, considered same and recommended their adoption to both the SPC for Economic Development and the LCDC. 3.1.2 Phase 2 Following the sign off on the Framework Priorities by the LCDC and the SPC for Economic Development, a set of strategic actions and relevant KPI (key performance indicators) were drawn up which would assist in meeting the individual Framework Priorities. This draft document was adopted by the relevant structures and went out for further consultation with the broader community and relevant national/regional agencies. The feedback received from this process resulted in additional changes to this Economic section. During this phase, the draft Economic section was commented upon by the LCDC, the Municipal Borough and District Councils and the Regional Assembly. 3.1.3 Phase 3 The final phase involved the integration of the economic, social inclusion and community elements together to provide one all county integrated LECP which was considered and adopted by Council. 3.2 SEA Screening & Equality Proofing Exercises During all of the phases, an SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment) Screening process was undertaken to ensure that there were not significant adverse environmental issues arising from the actions or priorities identified. In addition, an equality proofing process was undertaken to ensure that there were no adverse or unexpected impacts from an equality perspective (Appendix 2).

  • History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary
    History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary. ‘Introduction’ What better way to begin an account of a Tipperary town than by referring to the following words of a poem called ‘Tipperary‘.In these lines, the poet ‘ Eva of the Nation‘ who was one of the Kellys of Killeen, Portumna,wrote: ‘O come for a while among us,and give us a friendly hand, And you‘ll see that old Tipperary is a loving and gladsome land; From Upper to Lower Ormond bright welcome and smiles will spring, On the plains of Tipperary,the stranger is like a king?‘ Yes, I think the words ring true,I`m sure, for us and about us,natives of this part of Irish soil?? It is about one particular spot ‘on the plains of Tipperary‘ that I wish to write, namely my home parish of Borrisokane?? . So I turn again to verse, which so often suggests things that mere prose cannot? In a book of poetry, ‘The Spirit of Tipperary‘ published many years ago by the Nenagh Guardian,we find a poem by Dermot F ?Gleeson who for many years was District Justice in Nenagh.He wrote under the pen-name ‘Mac Liag‘ . He writes as if from the top of Lisgorrif Hill looking down on the broad expanse of the two Ormonds with Lough Derg bordering them to the left? .The poem is simply called, ‘The place where I was born’ ‘O’er hill and mountain, vale and town, My gaze now wanders up and down, Anon my heart is filled with pride, Anon with memory’s gentler tide ‘ Of sorrow, until through them all The twilight whispers softly call From upland green and golden corn “It is the place where you were born”.

  • The Coonans of Roscrea by Michael F
    The Coonans of Roscrea By Michael F. McGraw, Ph.D. [email protected] October 26, 2018 Introduction This continues the effort to organize, consolidate and extend the research of Robert Conan. The following paper concerns the Coonan families found in the area of Ireland around Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. The material found in Conan’s notes pertaining to this subject consists of two parts: (1) a structured family report covering five generations and (2) a set of interviews conducted by Robert Conan in Ireland in 1970 and 1972. The data in the structured family report covers the period from the mid-1700s to the early 1800s and is discussed in Part I of this paper. Information was also found on a Roscrea family which had immigrated to Australia in 1865; they are also included in this part of the paper. The Robert Conan interviews covered the then current generation of Coonan descendants and went back one or two generations and which forms Part II of the paper. The overall goal is to connect the earlier Coonan generations with the more recent descendants, where possible. As many church and civil records as possible were collected to complement those collected by Robert Conan during his visits to Ireland. The information has been structured as family trees to achieve a concentration of the information and to increase the probability of discovering other family connections. The geographic proximity of the families described in this paper holds the promise of finding connections among them. A more long range goal is to find connections with the Upperchurch Coonan families, which were described in an earlier paper.

EARLY SILVER MINING IN WESTERN EUROPE: AN IRISH PERSPECTIVE Peter Claughton and Paul Rondelez Abstract: In late medieval times in Europe, silver represented money itself and the mining of its ores was of great importance. In this paper, the evidence for the mining of that metal in late medieval Ireland is investigated. The known, and suspected, mines are identified, while some mis-interpretations in the current literature are rectified. The limited source material is then used to build a preliminary picture of the evolution of silver mining during the various stages of late medieval Ireland: the Anglo­ Norman period (c.
